Abstract

In a home system, sequences of received user commands are stored. A matching unit determines whether matching sequences of commands are received repeatedly, or whether a sequence accomplishes an opposite effect. If so, the system adds a new macrocommand to a user interface. The new macrocommand becomes user-selectable so that, in response to user selection of the further command, the user interface sends control signals for executing a series of commands corresponding to commands of the first sequence. The system also adds a further macrocommand to the user interface which enables the user to accomplish the opposite effect of the first macrocommand.

Description

System with macrocommands
The present invention relates to carry out the system of macros, especially the system that comprises user's controllable device and user interface, user interface is set to receive at user option order and to transmit control signal for the device of carrying out this order, and at least two described at user option orders have reverse effect.
The invention still further relates to the remote control unit and the controllable device that in said system, use.
PCT patented claim WO98/9284 has described a kind of method and apparatus that is used to local network to create macros.This network receives the order of for example importing from html page.Originally, when starting, each input all causes the execution of user command.Macros is included in the execution for a series of above-mentioned user commands of carrying out under the independent drive of the input of this macros redetermination.
Local network with local device of definition in WO98/59284 (WO98/59284 gets rid of multi-purpose computer from the definition of local device) makes the electronics interconnections common in this locality.This network is normally by the user's control that is not those skilled in the art.In fact, have been found that these unskilled users do not write the newly grand of themselves.
WO98/59284 has described the variety of way that helps the user when generation is grand.For example, use to the preset macro of some option preset system parameter has been described.By the parameter value of reading system when system is in priority status, and these values are copied in the grand order that is used for being provided with these parameters produce preset macro.In another example, when user's indication mechanism produces during with record macro grand.These instructions enter grand after, the order that system log (SYSLOG) is provided by the user.In another example, from the outside, for example, by the manufacturer of the device in the system.
A target of the present invention especially provides the system that allows unskilled user to benefit from macro definition.
System provided by the invention comprises:
User's controllable device;
User interface is set to receive at user option order and transmits control signal to the device that is used to carry out this order, and at least two described at user option orders have reverse effect;
Memory cell is set to write down first sequence of ordering that receives;
Matching unit is used to determine whether to receive second sequence and described first sequences match of order or instead mate after described first sequence;
In response to described second sequences match or anti-detection of mating described first sequence, this system is set to add on the user interface with further ordering with further counterorder, further order and further counterorder become at user option, thereby, user in response to further order selects, user interface sends the control signal be used to carry out corresponding to a series of orders of the order of first sequence, and in response to further user's selection of counterorder, user interface sends and is used to carry out with the control signal of opposite mode corresponding to a series of orders of the order of first series.
The example of opposite order is that volume increases/reduces, brightness increases/reduces, channel up/down etc.Therefore this system initiatively selects grand content.Obtain grand content by duplicating the command sequence that the user is used for control system.With having in the mutual opposite effect grand that the sequence system that is inserted into of coupling produces.When they had identical lasting effect in system after each EOS, command sequence was called as coupling.That is, only in the order that does not have lasting effect, still be called as coupling as bad command of proofreading and correct afterwards or the different sequence of order that is used for the information of temporarily searching.This inconsistent order need not to be included in the grand command sequence of gained.After each EOS, when they have opposite durable effect in system, think that command sequence is anti-coupling.
Various situations may produce grand by initiating system.For example, if during user's continued operation channel-up button specific times, and operation channel down button same number in succession, then system's grand reinstatement that can produce up and down by the channel of the specific times selected for conversion.Selectively, system waits for that at least this channel up/down loop takes place for the second time.Thereby for the user of repeat run-out between two non-conterminous channels provides macros, the channel of channel in the middle of being used to skip and selection expectation immediately.
Under the another kind of situation that may cause opposite grand generation, the command sequence that user's at least twice execution is substantially the same.Then, system produces corresponding with this sequence grand, and for example by duplicating this command sequence and if possible replace each to order with opposite order, system also produces opposite grand, grand realization that this is opposite and command sequence reverse effect.
In an embodiment of system of the present invention, matching unit can be discerned the repetition of basic command in first sequence, this system is set determining to have the opposite basic command with described basic command reverse effect, and in described further opposite order, comprises the repetition of described opposite basic command.Recurrent is the identical button of user's repeatable operation, for example, increases some parameters such as volume or brightness of image in fact, perhaps moves past a plurality of channels rapidly.Typically, the order of these types has the anti-order that is used to realize the opposite effect, promptly reduces volume or brightness of image, perhaps moves rapidly in opposite direction.The present invention produces on the opposite macros this point in the parameter regulation for above-mentioned repetition and is particularly useful.
In an embodiment of system of the present invention, further the user of order selects to comprise at least the selection of described basic command, and further the user of counterorder selects to comprise at least the selection of described opposite basic command.Particularly as infructescence only by certain basic command for example go up adjusting channel repeat form, grand the calling of generation preferably includes basic command itself.It saves extra grand button in (long-range) control module, and how the user is easier to remember call macro.Then call opposite macros and comprise basic counterorder.This can realize in several ways.
In one embodiment, control module comprises single grand button, and this button for example must before corresponding to the button of basic command or be pushed afterwards, is used to confirm execution grand rather than basic command itself.For example, pushing grand button after pushing " channel-up " button can cause system to carry out the grand of a repetition that comprises " channel-up " order that early defines.After pushing " channel downward modulation " button, push the opposite grand of repetition that grand button can cause system to carry out ordering the comprising an of definition early " channel downward modulation ".
In an alternate embodiments, can select grand by the operation of the corresponding button of prolongation and relevant basic command.For example, the pushing of the short time of " channel-up " button can cause to be selected next frequency channel preset for waiting, yet the prolongation of this button is pushed and can be caused to skip these channels with the step that is included in the step as much in grand.
In another embodiment, can select grandly corresponding to the button of relevant basic command by only operating, that is, this macros temporarily replaces standard commands.Standard commands can be selected by the operation of prolongation or repetition same button.System can be by for example producing feedback on TV screen, promptly standard commands needs different operations now, warns the user.By after input expectation road predetermined value is frequently selected channel clearly, standard commands for example can be, is reduced after the preset time section during in the careful selection (for example operation by prolonging) of basic command or in channel selection.
The above-mentioned grand iterated command that there is no need only to comprise.Extraordinary is that when changing repeatedly between two non-conterminous channels, as increasing/reduce button three times by pushing volume respectively, the user also can systematically adjust volume.According to the order that in this sequence, at first produces, can grandly be assigned to the button relevant with what generate with particular command, promptly in the example that provides, by the repetition and the volume of channel up/down order increase/reduce order repeat to constitute grandly will be assigned to the channel up/down button.
The present invention can independently realize in the remote control unit at one, this independently remote control unit comprise and be used to produce grand and send macros to controlled all devices.Selectively, can use remote control unit commonly used, but its order is explained that according to the present invention i.e. sense command sequence is determined opposite order, and in controlled device, produced grand.Device of the present invention also can distribute on remote control unit and controlled device, for example, can in device, produce grandly, but, additional signals can be sent to controlled device for display or the microphone by controlled device provides feedback.
Accompanying drawing below will utilizing illustrates these and other favourable aspect of system of the present invention, method and apparatus in more detail.
Fig. 1 shows the system of local device.
Fig. 2 shows the process flow diagram that is used for the defmacro instruction.
Fig. 3 shows remote control unit of the present invention.
Fig. 1 shows the system by the local device 11,12,13,14 of bus 10 interconnection.Although show linear bus structure, also can use the tree construction of any bus structure such as P1394 bus.As an example, show two devices 11,12, they have the input end 110,120 of the remote control signal that is used for remote control unit 112,122.Show the 3rd device 14 in more detail.Show and comprise for example control module 142 of microprocessor, storer 140, user interface 144 and display unit 146.
When operation, the user can use this system to carry out the operation of for example broadcast or recording of video or audio-frequency information in this locality.For example, device 11 can be video signal source and/or pen recorder, and as video recorder, DVD player, disk set etc., and another device 14 can be a televisor.In this case, user's instruction video source 11 reappears video information and it is sent to televisor 14 by bus 10.User's indication TV machine 14 is from bus 10 receiver, video information, and it is decoded and is presented on the display unit 146.In another example, user's indication TV machine 14 outputs to pen recorder 12 by bus 10 with video information, and the user indicates pen recorder to receive this video information and this video information is carried out record.
Yet another of device 12 can be the set top box 12 that is used for from receiving video signals such as cable system or internet interface devices 13.These also can be as image source, video source, audio-source or the data source of the information that can show in this system, export or write down, perhaps as the receiver of above-mentioned information.
All above-mentioned these operations are more at length controlled by the user in more detail or.Certain operations is started by the unique user order, but the user often has to import a series of two or more orders, so that system's executable operations, and for example designation data source and datum target, and the operation that must carry out data.In a kind of pattern, in order to import all these orders, the user adopts central user interface 144.In another kind of pattern, the user adopts one or more remote control unit 112,122 to come input command.The input of order can be a kind of mutual process, wherein, can import or how to import which order, menu or dialog box (for example, the various images that are used for the button of select command being shown) are presented at for example display unit for the user is shown.
System can make the user definition newer command, can supply to so-called " macros " that the order in the system constitutes by two or more.In case defined a new macros, for example, by new order is added in the menu, add to " button " of this order in the dialog box or (in general button or button combination on this order and this remote control unit are associated, this is called order is added in the system), system can make the user select this new order.When the user selected this order, system carried out this order that has its response to constitute.
For example, macros can indication mechanism information on the current particular display device that is presented at specific pen recorder of record.
In one embodiment, when the user imports the initial command of the order of forming macros, the selection to macros taking place, next imports predetermined " the execution macros " that belongs in the given time.If the user begins to import the initial command of the order of forming macros, store grand that this has defined then, then by importing the macros of above-mentioned genus subsequently, he can select this grand.If manually carried out this grand part, then system should only carry out this grand remaining part (recovering over and done with sequence from storer).
In order to help the user definition macros, new macros is initiatively advised by system.The order that system monitoring is provided by the user, and when system detects the user and has provided the order that matches each other of two or more sequences, this system is command sequence of section construction of the coupling of command sequence, and whether the inquiry user adds the macros that is used to carry out this command sequence.
When macros comprises the order of the anti-order with opposite effect, be provided with system with construct two grand, one has the effect identical with detected command sequence, one has reverse effect.Imported two command sequences the user, and second sequence has under the situation of the effect reverse effect that is caused by first sequence, also can cause this operation.This can be grand and under possible situation by duplicating first, replaces all orders with their counterorder and realize.
Fig. 2 shows the process flow diagram of the step that is used for adding by this way macros.In the system of Fig. 1, carry out these steps by for example control module 142.In the first step 21, the order that control module 142 monitorings are provided by the user, and detect whether imported a new order, this newer command is the terminal of potential grand sequence.For example, if the serial command that provides in this sequence is lower than the preset time each other (for example, 10 seconds) of back, then control module 142 is considered as potential grand sequence with command sequence.Not and then another order within preset time (for example, with the time that is used to discern than long, for example 30 seconds the identical schedule time of potential grand sequence) of the station command of above-mentioned potential grand sequence.
In second step 22, control module 142 is stored potential grand sequence in storer 140.If necessary, for example,, can in storer, set up the space that is used to store by deleting the potential grand sequence of one or more most recently used.In the 3rd step 23, control module 142 is retrieved the potential grand sequences match of the new storage of the compatible portion of the command sequence of the macros that does not correspond to existence of storage in advance or the potential grand sequence of anti-coupling in storer 140.In the 4th step 24, if do not find the potential grand sequence of above-mentioned coupling in storer 140, control module 142 is got back to the first step.
If control module 142 has been found above-mentioned potential grand sequence, then carried out for the 5th step 25, for example, the message of the effect of the order by showing the new grand sequence that the potential new grand sequence found and row are potential on display unit 146, this step suggestion user is for the new macros of potential grand sequence definition and have the further macros of the opposite effect.Selectively, do not wait for user's affirmation and produce by any way grand, preferably after showing notice to the user.Subsequently, control module is restarted from the first step 21.
If the user imports an order to agree to increase new macros, agree that control module 142 adds this order in the system, for example to if perhaps need not, make in case, just produce from the order of potential new grand sequence or the compatible portion of generation sequence from user interface 144 input commands.Yet, under the situation that does not deviate from invention, can use other interface 112,122 to trigger the execution of macros.Which interface control module 142 can automatically select to use, and for example, carries out macros with potential new grand sequence receiving from it on one of order or the total interface.Selectively, control module 142 can ask the user to indicate new macros should append on which interface.
Preferably, in the 5th step, system has the order (for example, by select " enabling/forbid macro suggestions " button in dialog box) that the permission user enabled or forbade the new macros of suggestion.This allows user to limit the number of times of macro suggestions when expecting.
Control module 142 can use dissimilar standards to determine whether that potential grand sequence matches each other in the 3rd step 23.In one embodiment, if two sequences are made of identical order with identical order, then control module only detects coupling.In another embodiment, if except that identical order, this sequence also comprises the additional command of the net result that does not influence sequence, if and/or order produce in two sequences with different orders, only otherwise influence net result, just detect and mate.Can adopt the anti-coupling between two command sequences of similar methods detection.
In another embodiment of the 3rd coupling that goes on foot, control module 142 is concluded the parameter of the order in the sequences.Promptly, if only the parameter difference is (for example for the order with identical function in each sequence, the only order of different " vision signal is outputed to bus " of vision signal source apparatus), when two potential grand sequences relatively, by alternative parameter, control module 142 with them as possible coupling order.This replacement is associated two parameter values, wherein takes out a parameter value from each matching sequence.When replacing these parameter values mutually, claim these sequences match according to all corresponding this relations of ordering of matching sequence.
In the macros that produces, parameter value can comprise the parameter as macros, and is imported by the user when the user selects this macros.Selectively, control module 142 in the process of the beginning of each potential new grand sequence and/or execution with system state description and grand sequence be stored in (state description comprises the information of being transferred to about valid data transport stream, device such as channel) in the storer 140.In this selection, control module determines whether replacement operation also relates to parameter under the system state of potential new sequence storage for each.If control module 142 comprises the order that is used for reading from system state correlation parameter in new produce grand.
Thereby for example, the potential grand sequence of supposing two couplings all is the sequence of recorded information on disk set.In this case, control module 142 will be proposed to be used in the grand of on disk set canned data.But, suppose to have stored to receive from the potential grand sequence command of the information of webpage and stored other sequence command that on tuner, receives from the information of television channel at internet interface.Further the parameter indication of supposition control module 142 discovery system states is before two sequences begin, and the source that is presented at the information on the display unit 146 is respectively internet interface and tuner.Control module 142 with interpolation order grand in, parameter with reading system state grand the term of execution, thereby determine to be presented at the source of the information on the display device 146, and the order in grand is stored in the generation value indication of operation parameter in the source of the information on the disk set.
In the embodiment of the first step 21, control module 142 is limited to potential grand sequence in the relevant command sequence, wherein in command affects or on using by the meaning of the data of another command affects in the sequence or use, each order be said to be with sequence in another order " be connected ", and, wherein directly link to each other between all orders mutually, perhaps the order by other is connected indirectly.
In one embodiment, in the potential macros that the first step produces, control module 142 only comprises the order that receives by control interface 144.In another embodiment, the interface whether control module 142 monitoring bus 10 detect at other has received order, this other interface perhaps installs 11,12,13 control knob for for example being used for the receiver 120,110 from remote control unit 122,112 received signals.In the present embodiment, control module 142 also is included in detected order in the potential grand sequence, and it is stored in the storer 140 and uses them during the 3rd step was mating.
Fig. 3 shows remote control unit 301 of the present invention.It comprises different control knobs, wherein, four pairs of control knobs that are used to regulate video parameter is arranged.Button 302 makes the user can regulate brightness of image, and button 303 makes the user can regulate picture contrast, and button 304a and 304b are used for by the TV frequency channel preset upwards or beat downwards, and button 305 makes the user can regulate volume.Provide digital button 307 to be used for clear and definite input value, as channel preset numbers.ACK button 306 plays a part different, and for example, it makes the user can the choice menus option, perhaps confirms operation.Those only are shown explain button required for the present invention, additional button such as wait, noise elimination, EPG etc. also can be provided.
Each comprises two buttons to button 302,303,304 and 305, and they have reverse effect, for example, increases or reduce a specific parameter respectively, as the channel preset numbers of volume or selection.If any one in a certain period of time in these buttons of repeated presses, then sequence is compared with the command sequence that early receives.In above-mentioned sequence, it is right to ignore continuous opposite order, because they are to the not contribution of net result of sequence.If sequence that receives and early sequences match are then added macros, this can be by the user by pushing corresponding button and acknowledgement key 306 is selected continuously.Simultaneously, add opposite macros, this can select by pushing corresponding opposite button and acknowledgement key 306 continuously.For example, if the user pushes channel-up button 304a four times, and find before to receive identical sequence, then produced a macros that comprises four channel-up commands, this can be by pushing channel-up button 304a and acknowledgement key 306 is selected continuously.And, by pushing channel-down button 304b continuously and acknowledgement key 306 is selected, can produce a macros that comprises four channel down command.
If before do not received command sequence, but find before to have received opposite sequence, then produce identical macros and the same button of distributing to remote control 301.For example,, and before received the sequence that comprises four channel down command, and produced identical macros as mentioned above, and distributed to button 304a and 304b respectively equally if the user pushes channel-up button 304a four times.
If find the sequence early of coupling or anti-coupling, the command sequence itself that receives as potential grand sequence storage, is used for and following command sequence compares.
